I love these boobs! It's amazing to fill bra cups and to feel feminine. I took myself to the VS semi-annual sale and had lots of fun. Probably too much fun ;) My husband came with me and I he is actually liking these things now.
They are much softer and actual have a little bit of movement and jiggle to them. The scars are healing beautiful. I'm applying Mederma Advanced twice a day as suggested by Dr Yates. He also gave me an exercise to do that will help stretch the skin in the lower half of my left breast and let the implant drop. I've been fairly consistent with it.
My right breast still has some nerve pain on the sternum side in a line towards my nipple but it's slowly improving. It does make that nipple super sensitive so I hope it gets all the way better.

Almost 4 weeks and 32D is too big
I am really freaking out about my size. I was between 295cc and 345cc when I chose my implants. I went with 345cc. I was hoping to be a small c cup. I have always had a slender body but now I feel like I'm all breasts. They feel obscene or vulgar. I can't even wear the same kind of necklines I used to. I feel like I need to be in high necks and loose clothing and I sort of dread returning to yoga in sports bras and exercise tops. Please help me calm my anxiety. I can't afford a revision and really don't want to go through surgery again anyway. Really, I feel depressed and anxious and not sure what to do.

It looks like you still have a lot of swelling and quite a bit of dropping to do. Hopefully once they've settled down a bit more, they will look very natural in those tops in just a few more weeks. (I'm telling myself the same thing. I'm panicking too since I was sized at 34DD. :( )

I don't know. I worry that they might actually seem larger once they are dropped and fluffed. My husband didn't want me doing this surgery in the first place so I'm afraid he will lose it if he knows I'm not happy with the results.

I liked them better a couple weeks ago because my tight muscles were compressing the implants so they looked smaller.
December 30, 2015
looking awesome. how tall are you?
December 30, 2015
I'm 5'10" but extremely thin. Only 118 pounds. I don't gain weight easily.

It is so helpful, thank you so much. Im 5.6. This size stuff is very tricky , I don't want to be either greedy or the opposite. This size looks great on your frame!!!
December 30, 2015
I think you look great, but the look will be better once they drop more. I have 350cc but with a concave chest, cannot tell at all in clothes I had something done. :'(

I can see how his view point would make an already stressful situation even more so. :( I can only reiterate that I think you look great. And it's still early days. Once they soften up in a few weeks, you'll get the exact look from your rendering. :) *hugs*
December 30, 2015
Thank you so much. You're right. I was happy with my rendering and I just need to have some patience. Thanks for being understanding.

I'm sorry you're feeling down about them. I went through a phase of wondering if I should have got a smaller implant too. For me, there was a trade off between having breasts and looking slender. I had to give up some of my slender profile and take on a bit of a matronly look. That is because my torso is really short. I used to wonder if it would look better if I was a little bit taller.
Since you're a lot taller than me, I would think these implants will look great once they've settled. It's totally normal to notice your body does not look the same any more. Your skin looks shiny. Does it feel tight?
From the side, the change is not so dramatic and I think it's a nice profile. From the front, they still have a long way to go as far as dropping and fluffing goes. The folded edges at the top of the implants look quite obvious. Since you're only four weeks post op, I expect that edge to soften to a ski slope. At the same time, the breast below the nipple will look fuller. They are still riding high above the bra cups. This is not your final look.

Two Week Boobiversary
I have felt better this past week and have been able to accomplish a lot as Christmas approaches. My boobs have decided to switch. The left which was original the sore and mostly bruised side seems to be healing and now I'm feeling a lot of pain in the right side. Some of it is internal but a lot of it is just my skin. Maybe my skin is extra vulnerable from being stretch over these implants but it feels so tender to the touch. My surgical bra seems to be rubbing them raw. So I bought some very emollient vitamin e cream and just slathered them this evening after showering. Maybe if I keep a nice protective layer over the skin, it will have a chance to heal.
Back to accomplishing so much though. I think I've been over doing it. I'm trying to keeping up on my rowing excercises that I was instructed to do every 30 minutes by Dr Yates nurse, Tanya. It's possible I've been rowing too aggressively are stretching to much in my impatience to speed things along? I'm so happy to have these beautiful new breasts that I don't want to mess anything up.
I do want to get back to my regular yoga practice though. I know I'm losing shoulder strength and my bum gets all it's perk from yoga. Maybe I can yoga from the waist down? Or barre?
Ooh! I have to share something that made me so happy this evening. Before surgery I measured my hips at 35.5" and my bust at 33". I remember think how cool it would be if my new boobs would match my hips. You know, like the old school, hour glass pin-up girls. Well, they measure exactly 35.5"! It's the little things, ladies.

You are looking gorgeous for 2 weeks post! That side profile though..,.amazing! Your final results are going to be fantastic
December 18, 2015
supermodel measurements! you look fabulous & you make me want to take up yoga. But rest! Yoga will always be there and ready for you when you're done healing.
December 19, 2015
Thank you so much! Yoga has been life-saving for me. I started because of scoliosis related back pain and depression and anxiety. The side effects were gaining amazing strength and flexibility that I didn't even expect. Now I'm a registered yoga teaching so I can share the practice with others.

I run about 35 miles a week but after this procedure I feel like I need to do something that involves less bouncing. I've tried beginners yoga a few months ago. I only practiced 60 minutes everyday for a week and when I stopped, I felt SO stiff and slow. I didn't realize how awesome yoga made my entire being feel. Is it just me or do all these dedicated yogi's have a glow? You have a glow. Before my procedure I bought some yoga DVDs by Vera Yoga (or something like that). Let know how it goes when you get back into Yoga completely & if there are any stretches that shouldn't be done because of breast implants.

They look awesome! Glad you are getting more done- hope you continue to!!!
December 18, 2015
They keep getting better and better! Already beautiful! And yay for hour glass measurements! :-D
My incision areas occasionally and randomly burn/hurt more as the implants drop further down (I suspect). My compression bra also irritates as that has happened. I ice the incisions when I get the pangs. Not glamorous at all but it feels like it helps.
Hang in there! The worst is over and the best is yet to come! :)

Thank you. It's fun watching them become more naturally breast-like. Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever expected to be remotely hour glass shaped. I love it!
Interestingly, my incision sites are the only parts that haven't bothered my at all. It's more towards the sternum side of each breast. Especially the right. Ice helps.
December 19, 2015
Yes! Everyday is so much fun watching them transform bit by bit! (I am obsessed with taking photos every night.) I am still surprised by how little my breasts have hurt or bothered me, and blown away by how much my upper back has! It seems like everyone is affected differently. But universally so worth it!
